2015 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · AP15 LKA

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 1 December 2025 with no defects recorded. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears to have stabilised in the last two years following a period of inconsistent upkeep. Previous failures were primarily related to lighting and tyre condition, alongside a more significant ABS fault in 2022, but the absence of advisories in the two most recent tests indicates that these immediate concerns have been addressed and the vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state. With a recorded mileage of 76,194 miles over approximately eleven years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,927 miles per annum. This is a typical usage profile for a family vehicle of this age, suggesting it has not suffered from the extreme wear associated with high-mileage commuting nor the degradation typical of long-term standing. Mechanically, this mileage suggests that while major components should still have significant life remaining, consumables such as brake pads and suspension components will be entering a phase of expected wear. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyres, as the 2023 records indicate a dangerous failure due to exposed ply and cords, alongside advisories for perishing. This suggests a historical neglect of tyre age and condition. You must inspect the sidewalls of all tyres for fine cracking and verify the manufacture date codes to ensure they are not aged beyond six years, regardless of tread depth. Additionally, given the previous ABS fault and lighting failures, ensure the ABS warning lamp extinguishes correctly upon ignition and perform a full function check of all exterior lamps and indicators. Beyond the MOT history, the age of this Renault Scenic necessitates a thorough check of the service records, specifically for the timing belt and water pump replacement intervals, as these are critical failure points. During a test drive, listen for clunks or knocks from the front end, which would indicate worn suspension bushes or failing coil springs. Inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion or liping, and ensure there is no shudder under braking, which could point to warped discs. Finally, check the condition of the 12V battery and ensure all fluids are clean and topped up to the correct levels.
